🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...

...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY

He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."

His name is Rishi Sharma.

He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.

He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.

He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...

...FOR FREE

So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.

Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.

He does it out of pure gratitude.

In his words:

"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."

As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:

"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."

THAT is America.

250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...

God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I woke up to a message from New Hampshire. A bill had made it to the state Senate — one that Representative Julie Miles championed after watching me do peer-to-peer calls with insurance reviewers who weren't qualified to be making decisions about my patients. I'm a surgeon in Texas. I had no idea this had traveled that far.

Between cases at Redbud today, I fired off emails to NH Senate members, logged into a YouTube Live, and watched HB 1554 pass.

Here's what it does:
✅ Requires peer reviewers to be actual peers — credentialed, named, with their NPI number and specialty certification on the line
✅ Allows physicians to communicate with that peer reviewer at any point in the prior auth process — not just after a denial or on appeal

This is a patient-centered, common-sense reform. And it happened because someone posted something. Told the truth. Did the right thing.

Thank you, Representative Julie Miles and Senator Tim McGough. New Hampshire just set a standard. I hope other states are paying attention.

Get involved. Speak up. You never know what good it might do.

Bottom Line

Even if the US built additional plants to fully eliminate any ammonia imports and cover 100% of agricultural nitrogen fertilizer demand domestically (plus a buffer), the natural gas requirement would still be a tiny fraction of what the US already produces. Natural gas supply is not the constraint—existing plant capacity, location, and economics have historically driven some imports/exports. Phosphate and potash add negligible natural gas demand in https://t.co/9iiEYtFwu3 short: Yes—plenty of natural gas is available right now. The US is already a massive net exporter of natural gas, and redirecting ~0.5–0.6 Tcf/year (or even double that for expanded capacity) would have no meaningful impact on overall supply.

I own the largest dataset on GLPs and lean mass loss.

While it’s true lean mass decreases significantly in some, patients can preserve 90% of the lean mass by eating 1 gm/lb of lean mass daily along with strength training 3-4x/wk for 30-40 minutes.

I’ve seen many patients lose 100 pounds fat weight and only lose 10 pounds of lean mass by following these guidelines.

The goal is <25% body fat.

Lean mass preservation is the best marker for sustainable weight loss.

Promises Made. Promises Kept. 🇺🇸

With UNANIMOUS, veto-proof passage of SB88 — “The Bossly Bill” — the South Dakota Legislature has officially killed the egregious “Landowner Bill of Rights.”

SB88 eliminates HB1185 and aligns South Dakota law with the unanimous South Dakota Supreme Court ruling that invasive surveying is unconstitutional.

That means no private company can enter your land against your wishes to conduct invasive surveys.

The court made clear what happened to Jared and Tara Bossly should never happen in our state — when a foreign-backed carbon pipeline company invaded their property with armed security, entered their home and shop, drove over trees and crops, and bore a 90-foot hole into their land.

In the 2026 legislative session, we righted that wrong.

This victory belongs to the farmers, ranchers, landowners, and citizens who spoke up, made calls, and refused to back down.

Your land is worth fighting for.

Your legacy is worth protecting.

And we’re just getting started.

Rand Paul gets to the root of the issue behind why Susan Monarez was let go from the CDC.

You could feel it...the moment everything changed.

It was about one thing: the childhood vaccine schedule.

And Senator Paul made it clear that this is the debate the public deserves to have.

Paul: “So you resisted firing people who have this idea that the COVID vaccine should be at six months. That’s what this is about. You didn’t resist firing the beautiful scientists that are career people and un-objective and unbiased.”

“You wouldn’t fire the people who are saying that we have to vaccinate our kids at six months of age. That’s who you refuse to fire.”

Monarez: “So that assertion, is not commensurate with the experience that I had with the individuals who are identified to be fired.”

Paul: “Did any of the people you refused to fire believe that we should change the vaccine schedule and no longer force six-month-old kids to take it?”

“Every one of them was adamant we should keep it at six months.”

Then Paul dropped a question that stopped the room cold:

“What is the medical reason to give a Hepatitis B vaccine to a newborn whose mom has no hepatitis?”

Monarez: “So none of the discussion points that you just brought up were ever…”

Paul: “That’s changing the childhood schedule.”

“This is the debate over changing the childhood schedule. The Hepatitis B vaccine on the schedule is given to newborns.”

“What is the medical scientific reason and proof for giving a newborn a Hepatitis B vaccine? If the mom is Hep B negative?”

Monarez: “I want to go back to the assertion…”

Paul: “What is the medical reason for giving a Hepatitis B vaccine to newborn?”

“See, everybody’s like blithely going along. We can’t change the childhood and you’re somehow terrible if you want to change the childhood, we should be discussing what is the childhood vaccine schedule.”

“The burden should be on you. You want to make all the kids take this. The burden is upon you and the people you wouldn’t fire to prove to us that we need to give our six-month-old a COVID vaccine, and that we need to give our one-day-old a Hepatitis B vaccine.”

“That’s what the debate ought to be about, not whether all vaccines are good or whether we live in Alice in Wonderland.”

I have prostate cancer. I had a prostatectomy 12 years ago. I've helped patients with prostate cancer for 40 years. If caught early, it is very treatable. So this story about doctors finding a nodule &amp; suddenly Pres. Biden has metastatic disease? It doesn't pass the sniff test.

High Fructose Corn Syrup

Between 1975 and 1980, the American food supply underwent several notable shifts influenced by economic, agricultural, and cultural factors. While comprehensive data specific to this exact five-year period is limited, broader trends from the 1970s, supported by historical context, provide insight into the changes.
One significant change was the continued rise in the availability and consumption of processed and convenience foods. The 1970s saw an increase in the production of refined grains, sugars, and vegetable oils, which became more prominent in the food supply. For example, high fructose corn syrup, introduced earlier in the decade, began to gain traction as a sweetener in processed foods and beverages, reflecting advancements in food processing technology and a growing demand for inexpensive, shelf-stable products.
Poultry consumption also started to climb during this period, setting the stage for chicken to eventually overtake beef as the most-consumed meat in the U.S. by the 1990s. In the late 1970s, chicken production increased due to improvements in industrial farming practices, making it more affordable and widely available compared to beef, which faced higher production costs and fluctuating prices.
The dairy landscape showed mixed trends. Milk consumption, which had been a staple, began a gradual decline as Americans drank less whole milk—dropping from an average of around 130 liters per person per year in 1975 toward lower levels in subsequent decades. Meanwhile, cheese consumption was on the rise, nearly tripling from 1970 levels by later years, suggesting a shift in dairy preferences that likely began in the late 1970s.
Economically, the mid-to-late 1970s were marked by volatility, including a good economy early in the period followed by challenges like rising interest rates and inflation. This affected agricultural exports and domestic food prices. For instance, strong foreign demand for American grains and meat in the mid-1970s boosted production, but by 1980, events like President Jimmy Carter’s grain embargo on the Soviet Union (in response to the Afghanistan invasion) disrupted export markets, impacting the supply chain and contributing to lower farm prices.
Additionally, the 1970s saw the beginnings of a health-conscious movement that influenced the food supply. The publication of the “Moosewood Cookbook” in 1977 and the opening of Chez Panisse in 1971 signaled a growing interest in vegetarian and farm-to-table eating, though these trends were still niche by 1980. The government also started requiring nutrition labels in the 1970s, reflecting a shift toward greater consumer awareness that would slowly reshape food production.
In summary, between 1975 and 1980, the American food supply saw an increase in processed foods and sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, a rise in poultry availability, a shift in dairy consumption from milk to cheese, and economic fluctuations that affected agricultural production and prices. These changes laid the groundwork for broader dietary transformations in the decades that followed.
